Glossary & Context

The game's word for a world.

The save menu says "my qualia", world creation says "new qualia", and the Steam workshop packages uploads as qualia. A qualia usually means one specific world-state owned by one player.

Outside the game, qualia is a philosophy term for subjective conscious experience.

The umbrella creature category.

The creative inventory has a Vermin tab and the word applies to everything from a wandering Bubblebear to Yhvh. Wiki pages use vermin instead of mobs or entities for consistency with the shipped UI.

The inventory header shown in the shipped UI.

The carried-item section is labelled possessions in-game. It sits in the same register as the game's other ritual-leaning UI words like apotheosis, tome, rosary, and qualia.

The in-game name for fusion. From Greek, meaning deification.

Fusion menus, title art, and ritual-toned prompts all use APOTHEOSIS wording. Fusion converts ingredient essences into new items and produces the bulk of the tiamana that fuels levels.

The level-up resource.

Awarded from APOTHEOSIS fusions, cutscene completions, vermin kills, and plant harvests. The HUD shows it on a dedicated tiamana bulb. Filling the bulb grants a level and a perk pick.

The word does not trace to an obvious real-world source and reads as game-coined.

A combat flag on certain entities. Tagged targets take bonus damage from matching tools.

Entities carry a cristella boolean and combat logic reads it during damage. Weapons like cristella's bane add damage against tagged targets. Baal and Leviathan carry the flag.

The default ordinary-world dimension.

Naraka is the generated world for normal play and the enum's default non-creative dimension. Portal blocks route into it by name.

In Indian religious vocabulary, naraka names infernal realms. The game borrows the tone without binding itself to the theology.

An Indic heavenly term. Visible mostly through portal items.

The clearest use is svargaqualia block. Svarga names celestial realms in Indic traditions. In the shipped build the block routes back toward the creative or divine flat world, so the name works as theme rather than as a separate heaven generator.

A side-world concept tied to portal items.

Portal items like clonaqualia block read as duplicated or forked qualia, not as storage chambers. The qualia framing holds even for small private destinations.

The shared-world layer for browsing, uploading, and downloading qualia.

The menus have dedicated Firmament upload, download, status, and history screens. Workshop traffic is framed as firmament browsing instead of a generic online tab.

Shorthand for the non-progression sandbox side of Lucid Blocks.

The shipped build ships both a divine world flag and creative flat-world generation. Players use the terms interchangeably because both disable progression and produce flat terrain.

A divine proper name reused as a dimension, a biome, and an endgame boss.

YHVH is the Tetragrammaton. Lucid Blocks puts it alongside Baal, Leviathan, and Archangel in the same Abrahamic naming lane, and hands it to a single endgame presence rather than a general heaven category.

A suffix marking items as reality-facing tools.

Janqualia, svargaqualia, and clonaqualia blocks all use it. The suffix signals world travel, world duplication, or world identity, not ordinary building material.

Several system words come from philosophy and religious-transformation language.

Qualia and apotheosis are the clearest examples. The basic interface talks in metaphysical terms before the lore content starts.

Realm and portal names borrow from Sanskrit and related Indic religious vocabulary.

Naraka and svarga are the clear pair. The runtime destinations do not always match the theological source word — the game uses the names for cosmological flavor.

Major vermin and endgame names draw from Biblical, Hebrew, and Northwest Semitic sources.

YHVH, Baal, Leviathan, Ofanim, and Archangel share one naming family. The register leans on prophecy and apocalypse.

The other half of the naming style comes from biology, mathematics, and shape language.

Diatom, fractal blocks, and tesseract items sit next to rosaries and archangels. The sacred and the scientific share the same name space rather than occupying separate zones.
